Preparation method of engelizin
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemicals, and particularly relates to a preparation method of an empagliflozin medicine for treating diabetes.
Background
Empagliflozin (Empagliflozin) is a selective oral SGLT-2 inhibitor developed by Boringer Vargahin in combination with Gift pharmaceuticals. The medicine is a medicine which can selectively inhibit reabsorption of filtered glucose by glomerular proximal tubules, enables excessive glucose to be discharged from urine and directly reduces blood sugar, is used for treating type II diabetes hyperglycemia, and has obvious curative effect, good safety and tolerance, approval of American FDA in 2014 and wide market prospect.
The name of engelia purification science is: (1S) -1, 5-anhydro-1-C- [ 4-chloro-3- [ [4- [ [ (3S) -tetrahydro-3-furanyl ] oxy ] phenyl ] methyl ] phenyl ] -D-glucitol of the formula:
PCT patent WO2006120208A discloses that the preparation of engelizin and its key intermediates is reported as follows:
at present, most domestic and foreign patents and documents adopt a similar method of the route, but the general route of the method is overlong, and the process cost is higher: fluorobenzene and benzoyl chloride derivatives are subjected to Friedel-crafts acylation reaction and then react with (S) -3-hydroxytetrahydrofuran, so that the steps are complicated, the route is low in efficiency; the addition reaction of the key intermediate and the TMS protected glucolactone requires strict low temperature, the yield is low, the selectivity is poor, and the product needs to be purified by introducing protecting groups such as acetyl and the like to improve the crystallinity of the product in the subsequent reaction, so that the process step is additionally added; the Grignard addition product needs to be reduced by triethylhydrosilane to eliminate benzyl methoxy, and the reaction operation and treatment difficulty is increased.
Chinese patent publication No. CN105399735A reports the following methods:
although the route improves the butt-joint reaction of a key intermediate and glucolactone, the pivalate derivative of the empagliflozin is obtained in one step, the experimental steps are greatly shortened, the halogen is directly removed by using n-butyl lithium, the requirements on the reaction temperature and the reaction conditions are high, the key raw materials are only limited to iodo matters, and the cost of the route is still high, so that a new synthesis method which is simpler and efficient still needs to be found.
The journal j. label company.radiopharmam.2014, page 687, reports the following synthetic route:
although the method is slightly short in route, Mitsunobu reaction is needed for butt joint of phenol and (R) -3-hydroxytetrahydrofuran to generate more urea compounds and triphenoxyphos, and the treatment after the reaction is troublesome and is not beneficial to process amplification; the method of the subsequent steps in the route is basically consistent with the patent, the selectivity and the yield are low, the route steps are complicated, and the overall efficiency is low. There is therefore still a need to find new synthesis methods which are simpler and more efficient.
